Abstract

"IMPROVED METHOD FOR CHLORINATING THE CARBOXYLIC GROUP
OF .alpha.-AMINOACIDS"

Abstract of the disclosure A method for chlorinating the carboxylic group of .alpha.- aminoacids (e.g. hydroxyphenyl-glycine) is described wherein the aminoacid is suspended in an optionally solvate-forming solvent, treated with an excess of gaseous HCl and then with a chlorinating agent having the general formula [SOaCl2.R1R2NCHO] (e-g. SO Cl2.(CH3)2NcHo).
A typical compound thus obtained is the dioxane hemisolvate of D(-)2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycyl chloride hydrochloride.

Description

11330~1 Field of the invention The present invention relates to an improved method for chlorinating the carboxylic group of -aminoacids, particularly p-hydroxyphenylglycine and 2-phenylglycine, as well as of the relevant derivatives.
Background of the invention The chlorination of the carboxylic qroup of q -aminoacids by means of the usual chlorinating agents such as PC15, PC13, C12, SOC12, etc. often presents synthesis difficulties due both to the steric hindrance and to the presence of various substituents. Among the hardly chlorinatable aminoacids there is for instance included p-hydroxyphenylglycine, since, among other things, the presence of a hydroxyl group on the benzene ring considerably disturbs the production of acyl chloride and besides the obtention of the product in crystalline and stable form is difficult, which form is necessary for an effective recovering from the reaction mixture.
Among the many attempts aiming at attaining the chlorination on the carboxylic group of p-OH-phenylglycine, two processes had a certain success, The first of them, which is based on the use of phosgene as the chlorinating agent and described in US Patent 3925~18 as well as by Brenner and Photaki in ~Ae1v, Chimica Acta, 1956, pages 1525-26, is rather complex as it consists in forming a cyclic anhydride and successively cleaving with gaseous hydrogen chloride, and further requires the use of phosgene, which gives rise to noticeable plant problems due to its dangerous nature and corrosivity. The second process is based on the use of cnloromethylene-dimethylammonium chloride as the chlorinating agent and is described in Ca~adian Patent No. 1,115,731 of R~ Maggi et al, granted January 5, 1982.

Summary of the invention The applicant company, in the course of its studies on the obtention of chlorides of a-aminoacids and particularly of 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine, has developed a chlorinating process which provides a good and practical novel method for preparing the desired hydrochloride chloro derivatives with high purity.
Such a high purity degree is essential, as the products obtained by this novel process have been found to have physico-chemical properties which are suitable for the productionof ~emi-synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins-The chlorination process according to the present inventioninvolves the use of chlorinating agents of the type XC12 . NCH0 (I) wherein X can be S0 and S02; R1 and R2 can be, each other independently, low alkyl groups such as CH3, C2H5 etc., or aryl groups such as C6H5.
The use of adducts of type (I) has been unexpectedly found to be satisfactory e.g. in the chlorination of 2-(p-hydroxy-phenyl)glycine under mild condition~. The type (I) adducts can be prepared by reacting equimolar amounts of XC12 and R1R2NCH0 at low temperature. The a-aminoacid, in particular
2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine,is suspended in organic solvents and the suspension is treated with hydrochloric acid to give the hydrochloride of the aminoacid. By reacting this suspension with the chlorinating agent of type (I) under mild temperature conditions the acyl chloride is obtained which can easily be recovered from the reaction mixture.
The organic solvents which are suitable to the process according to this invention should have a substantial chemical

inertness towards bo~h the adduct (I) and 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-glycine and should further be capable of selectively insolubilizing the desired chlorination product with a high degree of purity.
Examples of suitable solvents comprise acetonitrile, tetrahydrofurane, benzene, toluene, n-hexane, dioxane, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, chloroform and dichloroethane.
The preferred solvent in order to get good yields is dioxane or a mixture of dioxane with one or more of the other listed solvents. It has been found that dioxane has not only a suspending or solubilizing function with respect to 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-glycine, but also a stabilizing function of the final product due to the formation of a hemisolvate of 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-glycyl-chloride hydrochloride.
Besides it has turned out that also the use of acetonitrile as the reaction solvent allows one to obtain the chlorinated product firmly solvated with one mole of acetonitrile.
Description of the preferred embodiment The present invention will now be further described with reference to some embodying examples given for illustrative and non-limiting purposes.
Example 1 - Preparation of the adduct ~SOCl2.(CH3)2NCH0]
In a flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer and thermostatic bath 119.2 g (1 mole) of thionyl chloride are charged, cooled to 0C,and 73.1 g (1 mole) of N,N-dimethylformamide are added under stirring,yet maintaining the temperature below 5C. At the end of the addition the temperature is allowed to rise up to 20C and then maintained constant for at least 3 hours.
192 g of a yellow oily liquid which is extremely reactive 30 with atmospheric moisture are obtained.
Example 2 - Preparation of the adduct ~S02Cl2(CH3)2NCH0l In a flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer and thermostatic bath 135 g (1 mole) of sulphuryl chloride are charged, cooled to 0C,and 73.1 g (1 mole) of N,N-dimethylformamide are added under stirring,yet maintaining the temperature below 5~C.
At the end of the addition the temperature is allowed to rise up to 20C and maintained constant for at least 3 hours.
208 g of ~S02Cl2.(CH3)2NCHO~ as a oily liquid are obtained.
Example 3 - Preparation of the hydrochloride of D(-)2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycyl chloride hemisolvate with dioxane.
In a flask equipped with stirrer, thermometer and thermo-static bath 50 g (0.3 mole) o~ D(-)2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine are suspended in 150 ml dioxane; the suspension is treated at room temperature with gaseous HCl to give the hydrochloride of the aminoacid hemisolvate.
Upon cooling to 10C 75 g (0.3~ mole) of adduct (I) prepared according to Example 1 are charged.
Once the addition is ended the mixture is heated up to 20-30C for 15 minutes.
The reaction mass is cooled to 20C and optionally seeded with 500 mg of the previously obtained crystalline chlorinated compound. Once the crystallization is ended the mixture is cooled down to 0C to which 100 ml dichloromethane are added, and the crystallization is further allowed for 4 hours. The crystalline precipitate thus obtained is filtered, washed with dioxane and dichloromethane and dried under vacuum at 30C.
Abo~t 60 g (0.225 mole) of the hydrochloride of D(-)2(p-hydroxyphe nyl)glycyl chloride hemisolvate are obtained having an IR spectrum according to the standards and a titer of 93.5% without solvent.

Example 4 - Preparation of the hydrochloride of D(-)2(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycyl chloride hemisolvate with acetonitrile.
50 g of D(-)2(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycine are suspended in a solvent mixture of 50 ml dioxane and 100 ml acetonitrile, to which gaseous HCl is added at room temperature up to saturation thus obtaining the hydrochloride of the aminoacid solvate. 75 g of adduct (I) are slowly added at 10C and then heated up to 25C for 15 minutes.
The mixture is slowly cooled thus causing the spontaneous crystallization of the chlorinated product. The reaction mixture is maintained at 0C for 4 hours in order to complete the crystallization.
The compound is recovered by filtration, washed with acetonitrile and dried under vacuum. About 58 g of the desired chlorinated compound solvated with acetonitrile are obtained. The IR spectrum shows that the product has a high purity degree; titre without solvent: 96%.
Example 5 - Preparation of the hydrochloride of D(-)2(p-hydroxyphenyl)glycyl chloridé hemisolvate with dioxane.
